Hello, this is my first post. So hopefully this is the right spot.
I currently live in the state of Montana and I am enrolled in Montana State University's correspondence electrical apprenticeship program. I have been working as an electrician apprentice for 9 years. The correspondence program is going to kick me out on October 10th, due to failure to finish homework on time. I only have one book left to finish but unfortunately, cannot finish before the due date.
I won't go into a long story of why I'm so behind, but basically a divorce and losing custody of my children, working 6 days a week 10 hour shifts to pay my bills and child support of 1100 a month.
My question is, Does anyone know if I am kicked out of the apprenticeship in Montana, Can I move to another state and try to finish an apprenticeship program? Or have I wasted the last 9 years of my life? And with being kicked out from a program, Would a future employer even bother to hire me???
I know this sounds like a pathetic question but I truly don't know. And hoping somebody on here may have some guidance. Because this is very emotionally hard right now.
Thanks kindly in advance
 
How long is left. 2 hours every day even Sunday is doable that's 14 hours a week and you can be done in 2 months. No distractions cancel all streaming and keep the phone tv and computer away. No video games or beer. It's git er done time it has be for a while for you but not it's up
 
You can read up on the Rules and that if "State" controlled you haven't lost your hours of existing past studies.

Thank you, I think that's part of my problem, by the time I get home from roping houses all day, I open my homework and do a few questions and literally fall asleep at my kitchen table. I will try waking an hour early and doing it before work! Thank you for the motivation!

I have until October 10th, I am giving all I can and hoping to finish the last correspondence book beforehand. Just terrified that if I don't make it and I am kicked out what to do with my life at 38, I like your idea and do appreciate your response!

Start tonight keep going forward like you're going to finish and I mean after reading this hit the books. If you complete you're good. Spend only a little time asking for an extension of some sort. Ask about it and mention that you had a major life event of a divorce and they may sympathize and offer a month extension. Still work like they won't though.
